I don't know of any camera that does give a readout of aperture with K/M lenses, even
if it does have the aperture simulator lever. The same is true for A lense
off the A setting.

On the istD and a few of the film cameras, this lever (it's called an
aperture simulator or aperture estimator) is missing. This removes
any way for the lens to impart aperture information to the camera via
mechanical means. Since pre A series lenses lack the ability to
transmit such information electrically, metering operation is
compromised.
Also, the camera cannot give a readout of what aperture value is
chosen.
